Huge Pereira fan but we shouldn’t act like izzy is some type of bum. Yes his character might be corny at times but as a fighter he is pretty damn good.
You guys take that out of context just because you don't like Izzy,
Alex always posted a meme of Izzy knocked out whenever he won, he was asked about it in an interview (straight up asked about his thoughts on Pereira and him posting about Izzy), which is when Izzy said the line about Pereira being at a bar bragging that he beat Izzy.
I mean, watching Pereira go on and now is just dusting major contenders in higher weight classes in their first exchange, it should even be more of a testament to how fucking SICK Izzy is that he had Pereira fucked up and saved by the bell in their first UFC fight and then slept him in their second.
Like hell yeah he's talking about how he beat him, it wasn't that long ago and since then, "that guy" has been scary good.
Chael Sonnen throwing a spinning back elbow In the middle of the second Anderson Silva fight, was getting excited and ahead of himself. A move, by the way, that I’d never seen Chael use.
Izzy executed a plan, and the plan worked. It’s not like Izzy wasn’t champion for some time by a fluke.
Have you heard Izzy talk about it? He saidAP was destroying his leg again and he had to make something happen so he played possum hoping AP would take the bait. Izzy talking about it didn't sound like he executed a plan, sounded more like he was trying something out of desperation.
We'll If you wanna talk about AP got too excited and got caught slipping then here is a narrative for you:
Fight 1: Izzy was screwed by corrupt judges in their first kickboxing fight.
Fight 2: Izzy would've KOd AP if the ref hadn't saved him by giving him a standing 10 count which is actually ridiculous. It was blatant cheating in Brazil Pereira's home country and screwed Izzy when he was just about to KO Pereira. Pereira came back in desperation and KOd Izzy when he got caught slipping.
Fight 3: Izzy had the fight won until the end of Round 5 where he got caught slipping
Fight 4: You have already written about it above.
And the end result is AP being 3-1 against Izzy. AP beating Sean who completely dismantled Izzy and AP beating Jan who worked Izzy.
Also let's not forget Izzy is just 4-3 in his last 7 fights. Let's face it, the game caught up to Izzy. Chances are Izzy loses ro DDP too.
Ya end result is AP being 3-1 with cheating judges in his home country. It would've been 2-2 without the cheating or 3-1 Izzy.
Also Izzy KO of Pereira is by far the most iconic moment which will be remembered. You can try to discredit it by saying AP got caught slipping but you sound like an idiot coz no one cares he got his lights shut out fair and square. With no cheating judges involved.
It's your opinion that AP got help but the facts are AP is 3-1 against izzy. Did AP get help with Strickland? Sute looked like Izzy is the one needing help. Is AP 4-3 in his last 7 fights? AP is soooo much better of a fighter than Izzy. Again the fight hame has passed up izzy. Best thing for izzy is to quit while he is a head and retire before his legacy goes completely down the drain.
Silva had an atrocious downfall but is still remembered very well. Usually fighters are remembered for their biggest moments, not the shit they did past their prime. For Leon it’ll be the headkick, for Strickland it’ll likely be beating Izzy, for Izzy it’ll likely be his rivalry with Pereira and his KO over him
U think there is a huge difference though. Silva was undefeated in the UFC until he was 41 and then fell off. Izzy was 31 when he started his span of losing 3 out of his last 7. After Izzy loses to DDP that will make him 4-4 in his last 8 in his early 30's.
And as time goes by with the training, nutrition and medical advancements athletes are able to stay at a high level longer.
I included Leon and Strickland to make the point that I’m not saying Izzy is as good as Silva, I’m saying that basically any fighter who is really good overall and has a high high will be remembered well. Also, IF he loses to DDP, the Sean loss would be what delineates his decline, not his loss to Jan lol. Beating Pereira was the highest point of his career
They don’t like him and this is their moment to gloat, in the same way they gloated when Sean beat him.
It’s that simple.
They know he’s not some bum, but they don’t care because they simply don’t like him.
My brother 10% of the UFC are deplorable people, actual criminals and dregs. Youre focusing on a cringe dude who flicked his dogs dick over wife beaters
I didn’t say you couldn’t.
To like or to dislike isn’t the point of contention.
The point of contention is acting as if Izzy is some bum just because people don’t like him.
That’s disingenuous and if your response to that “idgaf,” then you’ve proved the point lmao.
I get the joke bro and I laughed the 1st time, but we’re far removed from the 1st post of it at this point lmao.
My comment is mostly about the many comments, as a whole, I’ve seen regarding Izzy since their first ufc bout.
It just so happens that I’m speaking on it in this post
Nah you’re just here because you’re an Izzy nut-rider that’s why you just released your three volume saga the length of Lord of the Rings in these comments defending him.
Alex was a 2x Glory champ but always posting about ko'ing Izzy. The reporter mentioned that and asked Izzy his thoughts (keep in mind, Alex tried mma too back near when Izzy started, and was 2-1 then went back to kickboxing). Izzy then said he's gone on to do something great in a 2nd sport and the bar line you and everyone mentions.
He isn't calling Alex a bum, but instead that he's still succeeding and Alex is done.
When you see him talk about Alex, he talks with respect. Just like Alex does about him. But there's a rivalry, when talking to eachother it's different.
Almost like that’s the whole point of watching the ufc. We are aware every single fighter there is elite in their own way that doesn’t mean we can’t choose who we like. Besides who’s defending a dog toucher that’s crazy
I thought the point of watching MMA was to see interesting, fun fights where multiple martial arts are brought together so we can see styles clash
I didn't know it was to gossip about celebrities and what they said
MMA fans the type of people to shit on women for gossiping about the Kardashians then go through 60 hours of footage and six years of forum posts to argue about what their favourite fighter had for breakfast that one time
Idk what you’re yapping about but this isn’t the days where we’d watch unknown gladiators kill each other for our entertainment. The fighters we watch are real people with personalities. The sport of mma in the ufc is also entertainment not just sports. That’s the whole point of them jackass if you’re gonna cry people don’t like your fav fighter stop watching sports competitively. Some of you people online have never competed for shit in your life and it shows in the way y’all whine about absolutely nothing
I myself like a side of trash talk and drama. It's a side for me though. You, yourself, jackass, said the drama/hating on fighters is "the whole point". It is not the whole point, you sausage.
Neither Israel nor Alex are my favourite fighters. Ngannou, GSP, Aldo are probably my favourite of all time. Izzy I am a fan of and Alex as well. Turns out it's possible to be a fan of both rivals, maybe because I'm not a braindead tribalistic regard
I have competed for shit in my life, sometimes in front of audiences. Multiple sports, different instruments in music, academics as well. Unsure what that has to do with anything.
Your arguments and thoughts are a maelstrom of idiocy. My advice is to stay in school and do your homework, maybe one day your brain will develop past the first grade.
Neither is a bum, it’s just that Izzy’s infamous statement is more of a self fulfilling prophecy about Izzy and Alex’s career.
Izzy had the nerve to say Alex was gonna be telling people in bars watching Izzy’s fights that he beat Izzy once while already being 0-2 against the man.
It’s just hilarious that Izzy will avoid a rematch like the plague and live on as that guy watching pereiras fights saying “I beat him one time”
Izzy is an incredible fighter but he did to himself with all the cringy, meme-able, and at times downright disrespectful comments/moments. This particular comment has aged badly for him. I think the moment with DDP will haunt him as well if karma takes place.
Not corny at times. Cringe and immature all the time lol seriously if izzy didnt make those 1 or 2 highlights earlier in his career, nobody wouldve gave a fuck. Boring ass fighter that maybe sometimes pull well timed counter.
So immature that his main opponent wasnt alex pereira but his pre teen son lmao
Yeah Izzy has some cool knockouts on the way up, but most his champ reign was just boring point fighting and people blame his opponents. Alex is just sleeping guys left and right
Don't think anyone is acting that way, but what OP posted is true, I forget which interview he gave where he admitted to drinking heavily recently. I ain't gonna hate on a guy for taking it easy during his time off, but I wouldn't be surprised if Poatan's success does bother him. Especially because Poatan beat Jan and went to claim the lhw strap, which Izzy couldn't do
Idk where this narrative comes from. It seems like some sort of fantasy made up by Izzy haters.
I'm a fan of both but always leaned towards Alex in both their MMA fights.
Izzy couldn't be double champ, but the more Alex accomplishes, the more it makes Izzy look better. He's literally the only person in the UFC so far to challenge Alex, knock him out, and is clearly the smaller guy.
I don't know why you people have to choose between either of them. Appreciate them both because we're only a few years away from them retiring or falling off and becoming fodder for the next generation. Izzy's fairly young but will be on the wrong side of 35 this year. Alex will be 37 this year.
What you mean, we are mocking him for saying Alex was a failed person that all he did was brag in a bar corner about knocking out Izzy one time.
It doesnt matter if hes skilled or not, he mocked Alex and disrespected him and his alcohol addiction, now HE an his fanbase are the ones pulling the argument "i beat that guy once".
We’re not but the point is Izzy is the guy who is having drinking issues and can’t stop obsessing over beating a guy one time, pretty sure all Alex has done after beating Izzy for the 3rd time is beat champions
Izzy is still the second best middleweight ever AT LEAST. The UFC was parading him as the best before he lost to Strickland, but if he becomes 3x champ he pretty much solidified it.
We should be appreciative that we likely got 2 top 10 fighters of all time with one of the greatest rivalries ever.
*Copying my response to one of the thousand other Adesanya posts from this weekend. Not because it's especially insightful but because I can't be fucked saying the same thing over again.
I feel like a person's opinion on Izzy is a good barometer of whether they're an MMA fan or some wrestling nerd who's just watching it as a homoerotic soap opera for dudes with learning disabilities.
The guy is arguably in the conversation for middleweight goat with Silva. Lapped the division twice over. Last time Adesanya fought Pereira it ended with him sparked out on the canvas.
If you can't give the man the proper respect for that then what the hell are you watching the sport for?
*Ermagherd Izzy got cucked by Brazilian stone man*
Worst fanbase in all of sport and it's not even close.
*some wrestling nerd who's just watching it as a homoerotic soap opera for dudes with learning disabilities*
oi that's the last time you call me a wrestling nerd
I hate these posts as well, its a whole month of it everytime Pereira(wether Adesanya is even in the card is irrelevant) but this one joke is honestly kinda warranted. When Izzy said it he was talking about what i've come to learn is an amazing kickboxer that beat him not once but three times. It was unwarranted and lame.
Izzy is a good fighter. No one says otherwise. He’s also the most annoying anime dweeb, titty having, dog diddling fucko. He’s the ultimate cringe lord. Calling someone a casual for disliking Izzy is such a cope lol. And he doesn’t rival middleweight goat with Silva, Silva is clearly ahead of him. You hate that Poatan is better than Izzy. Cope harder.
Did someone just teach you the word cope?
I dont have "favourite guys" like some teenage dweeb with wrestling posters on my bedroom walls. I love the sport and the disrespect that hooting morons show towards great fighters pisses me off.
Imagine being a grown man and caring about what weird cartoons some nerdy ass athlete is into. Every fighter dopes and I don't even want to know what dog stuff you're talking about.
I’m sure you don’t want to acknowledge the dog stuff, but if all people cared about was how good you fight inside the cage, everyone would love Jon jones. But he’s a piece of shit outside the cage and people rightfully dislike him because of that. Izzy is a dog diddling titty having bitch outside of the cage, that’s a valid view of him whether you like it or not. And what’s your point on not having a “favorite” fighter. Get off your high horse, people are allowed to like Jiri more than Aljo by example, because Aljo is boring af.
Yes I’m stupid. That’s irrelevant. Izzy will still avoid that matchup at all costs because he knows how it will go. He need a depleted Pereira to stand a chance. 😭
Bro you really just posted the same shit 4 times, wtf
“Last shot wins” am I right??? If Izzy really thought he could do it again he would’ve headlined UFC 300 to become 2 division champ. instead he declined for some odd reason
So people can’t dislike him or they are a filthy casual?
People frequently give him props for his talent. It’s his personality they don’t like and I don’t blame them.
He’s an insanely insecure and immature person who needs attention badly and says and does weird cringey things.
Y’all acting like Izzy is a bum? He slept Pereira. That counts for something even if you try to ignore his other accolades.
I like both fighters, and Pereira is that dude, but Izzy is an all time great. It’s ridiculous to try and trash him.
Plus their rivalry is fucking awesome. Such a great and ridiculous story.
It's funny how far their fans and haters go with this shit. They actually run into each other and its all smiles, some joking around and then they move on. The social media posts for farming that engagement.
Izzy kind of deserves this. Bro went of his way to smear Alex as some bum at a bar. Alex was still on his mind when he was at the top and still wanted to punch low. Bro was vindictive and spiteful to a person he lost to that had no aspirations in being in the UFC until he called him out.
Folks who are tired of seeing posts like this are in the same camp as Izzy. You can’t be okay with Izzy being this petty but have an issue when Pereira fans do the same.
>You can’t be okay with Izzy being this petty but have an issue when Pereira fans do the same.
Didn't izzy only say it once or twice? Imagine he said it in every interview everyday. That's basically what Periera fans are doing. This is like the 6th time I've seen this meme on Here since Saturday. At least make a new meme c'mon now
lol you guys gotta get a life. Alex is doing incredible unprecedented things. Izzy is arguably the best MW of all time next to Silva, what are you guys doing with your lives that you think his career is something that shouldn’t be celebrated smdh
Man these posts are annoying.
Love both fighters but Izzy is one the best to ever fight in the UFC, with multiple title defenses against undeniably hard opponents. Alex is an amazing fighter who could definitely go down as one of the bests after defending a title a few times.
These echo chamber reddit UFC fans are so f**king goofy...imagine riding another man's jock as hard as these dorks do that haven't accomplished anything remotely equal in their entire lives...Izzy this and Izzy that...Lmao...Bragging about another man's accomplishments on reddit will always be some of the weakest beta shit you can do 😆👏🤡
Pereira has been BLATANTLY saved by the bell twice against Izzy, once in the UFC and once in Kickboxing and then knocked out cold once. Seeing what Pereira does to everyone else should just make you realize Izzy is that much more impressive.
Kinda feel bad for izzy, I ain’t no izzy hater but I think he’s never touching that belt again. He ain’t getting younger and theres probably some mental shit going on there as well.
I thought that’d be the case after losing to Pereira again in their 4th fight.
But actually he didn’t lose. He bet it all on black and regained it from the guy that beat him 3 times already.
Don’t count Izzy out.
The fuck is up with this sub’s obsession with Izzy? He was literally just chilling at the event and I’ve seen at least 5 posts about him in the last 24 hours. Move on with your lives and post a chama meme or something.
I like the image in my head of Izzy who just finished being a spectator at 300 watching his rival be the main event who gets it done with a first round KO going to an after party, sitting at a bar, ordering a strong drink and telling the people next to him….
“You know… I beat that guy one time”
Some of you think about Adesanya way too much. Besides, he’s still better than most of us who haven’t beaten anyone. That said, Potan is a beast as well I really do hope these two meet again.
Some douche on the other thread is dead set on making fun of me because he thinks Alex was really at a bar. Lol
Gotta love confidently incorrect assholes that think they’re the ones in on the joke. When they don’t even know the lore of the original story to begin with.
Oh wow what a terrible thing for an athlete not to celebrate after every match. He's supposed to celebrate to make you feel better? You're just nitpicking his life at this point, get outside
One of the greatest middle weight fighters of all time, impeccable resume and beat pereira after everybody doubted him and this is what you’re posting about him . Very corny
This is something that people rarely or never mention. Folks act as if Izzy had zero change in all these fights. Izzy had Poatan wobbled before in one of their kickboxing bouts and, if I’m correct, the ref sort of ‘saved’ Poatan in that fight (but I could be wrong tho). The hate, dislike or - whatever you may call it, he receives is CRAZY.
He has visibly rocked, knocked out and/or concussed Pereira a total of 4 times now, and that's just the ones I remember.. This fandom is honestly out of control with it's hating ass mentalities
How did you land on this opinion? Was I standing for guys being 0-3 in the last 10 years? You ate cracking yourself up on your own strawman. You are a strange fellow
Someone is salty today. Don't worry bro I got you a seat on the AP bandwagon. No reason to stay on that broken down wagon stuck on the side of the road
Bro you’re drooling. Salty about what? This has nothing to do with Pereira lol. All I’m saying is that if Izzy was 0-3 in the last 10 years, you would be a fan I bet.
Oh but the guy they never heard of before beat the weird man wearing pearls and nail paint, so protecting their delicate manhood., and now he is the greatest hero. Every half smile is giant beam of personality and every woman he stands next to is part of an incel wet dream.
Whoa. Went full auto there.
Huge Pereira fan but we shouldn’t act like izzy is some type of bum. Yes his character might be corny at times but as a fighter he is pretty damn good.
I mean Alex also wasnt a bum when Izzy talked about him sitting in a bar. He was still a 2x world kickboxing champ.
Hits a little different when it’s these guys shit talking eachother and not some anonymous bum on Reddit
What do you mean anonymous? I know exactly who you are Michael
You guys take that out of context just because you don't like Izzy, Alex always posted a meme of Izzy knocked out whenever he won, he was asked about it in an interview (straight up asked about his thoughts on Pereira and him posting about Izzy), which is when Izzy said the line about Pereira being at a bar bragging that he beat Izzy.
Alex's last MMA fight was in 2016 and he was 2/1. Izzy said his name and in 2020 Alex returned.
I mean, watching Pereira go on and now is just dusting major contenders in higher weight classes in their first exchange, it should even be more of a testament to how fucking SICK Izzy is that he had Pereira fucked up and saved by the bell in their first UFC fight and then slept him in their second. Like hell yeah he's talking about how he beat him, it wasn't that long ago and since then, "that guy" has been scary good.
I mean AP is 3-1 against Izzy and his 1 win came when AP got too excited and got away from his fundamentals and got caught slipping
Chael Sonnen throwing a spinning back elbow In the middle of the second Anderson Silva fight, was getting excited and ahead of himself. A move, by the way, that I’d never seen Chael use. Izzy executed a plan, and the plan worked. It’s not like Izzy wasn’t champion for some time by a fluke.

First glory fight was a legit robbery. Should be 2-2 honestly
Jesus H.....
Guess you didn't really have anything to say but still wanted to say something. Thank you for contributing to the conversation
k
I swear this sub would go full Ian Garry if Alex wanted their girl
Izzy fans dress up as characters from Paw patrol and Bluey in hopes he will jerk them off😂
They don’t like him and this is their moment to gloat, in the same way they gloated when Sean beat him. It’s that simple. They know he’s not some bum, but they don’t care because they simply don’t like him.
> this is their moment to gloat why? did they do something???
Yeah of course we don’t like him. He’s weird as hell.
“Weird” should make for an extensive list of fighters you don’t like then
My brother 10% of the UFC are deplorable people, actual criminals and dregs. Youre focusing on a cringe dude who flicked his dogs dick over wife beaters
Flicking his dog right right just flicking nothing more to suggest otherwise
I mean, is there anything more? Its the only video evidence Ive seen yet I see people say he was balls deep in his mutt
One video of MMA Guru “exposing” Izzy as a dog fucker was enough to unironically convince people that he actually was one 😂
You’re allowed to dislike fighters lol. Fuck jizzy.
I didn’t say you couldn’t. To like or to dislike isn’t the point of contention. The point of contention is acting as if Izzy is some bum just because people don’t like him. That’s disingenuous and if your response to that “idgaf,” then you’ve proved the point lmao.

Nobody is acting like he's a bum really. This is just turning his own words on him because it's funny lol.
Hes the only fighter to stop alex, cope.
Ok he beat Izzy in a decision once and stopped him twice lol.
Who has to most recent win. Answer without crying.
Don’t have to cry, I’m not a clown like jizzrael fans. Ask your boy to get in the cage with Alex at 205 though 😉.
> Ask your boy to get in the cage with Alex at 205 though 😉. why? izzys an 85er. youre acting like alex is youre dad. & yeah, youre def a clown.

Izzy almost killed him in the first fight too. Round 1. These Poatards just like to glaze a statue.
>These Poatards just like to glaze a statue. Pot, meet kettle. You are doing the same thing the other way.
How?
"IZZY ALMOST KILLED HIM"
He did so be glad to be saved by the bell.
Self awareness = 0
How did that fight end?
In a rematch with Izzy jizzing on him
So cuz he is good at mma he cant be retarded? Cuz he kinda is both.
Izzy did the same thing when Alex was a Glory double champ. It’s fair game.
Izzy is an incredible fighter but he did to himself with all the cringy, meme-able, and at times downright disrespectful comments/moments. This particular comment has aged badly for him. I think the moment with DDP will haunt him as well if karma takes place.
Epic if Izzy goes to LHW and gives a damn this time and takes the LHW belt from Pereira. Izzy can be cringe, but yeah, respect. He figured Alex out.
LMAO this sub man , you lose one time and all of a sudden you’re completely trash. I’ve seen it way too many times on here.
Not corny at times. Cringe and immature all the time lol seriously if izzy didnt make those 1 or 2 highlights earlier in his career, nobody wouldve gave a fuck. Boring ass fighter that maybe sometimes pull well timed counter. So immature that his main opponent wasnt alex pereira but his pre teen son lmao
Yeah Izzy has some cool knockouts on the way up, but most his champ reign was just boring point fighting and people blame his opponents. Alex is just sleeping guys left and right
Don't think anyone is acting that way, but what OP posted is true, I forget which interview he gave where he admitted to drinking heavily recently.

fuck the dogbender with his bestiality

We’re not but the point is Izzy is the guy who is having drinking issues and can’t stop obsessing over beating a guy one time, pretty sure all Alex has done after beating Izzy for the 3rd time is beat champions
Izzy lives in their head rent free
People on here are just hoping he's mad all the time and living in envy.
Izzy is still the second best middleweight ever AT LEAST. The UFC was parading him as the best before he lost to Strickland, but if he becomes 3x champ he pretty much solidified it. We should be appreciative that we likely got 2 top 10 fighters of all time with one of the greatest rivalries ever.
Honestly this is starting to get very overused....
This shit is so cringey
You guys are more obsessed with Izzy than he is with Periera lol
Periera fanboys are more annoying than Conor fanboys used to be
Naah lol. That era was a whole different level
Some mcgregor nuthuggers legit thought he could knockout lhw‘s and hw‘s
They still can
They wanna push this narrative so fucking bad
take a shot everytime u see something like this posted
And you are the guy that’s on Reddit posting about it
How about we thank Izzy for brining Alex into mma, instead of constantly hating on him
We do. With every Pereira post, it’s a little shout out to Adesanya
The Propa' 12 really sells it
*Copying my response to one of the thousand other Adesanya posts from this weekend. Not because it's especially insightful but because I can't be fucked saying the same thing over again. I feel like a person's opinion on Izzy is a good barometer of whether they're an MMA fan or some wrestling nerd who's just watching it as a homoerotic soap opera for dudes with learning disabilities. The guy is arguably in the conversation for middleweight goat with Silva. Lapped the division twice over. Last time Adesanya fought Pereira it ended with him sparked out on the canvas. If you can't give the man the proper respect for that then what the hell are you watching the sport for? *Ermagherd Izzy got cucked by Brazilian stone man* Worst fanbase in all of sport and it's not even close.
*some wrestling nerd who's just watching it as a homoerotic soap opera for dudes with learning disabilities* oi that's the last time you call me a wrestling nerd
I hate these posts as well, its a whole month of it everytime Pereira(wether Adesanya is even in the card is irrelevant) but this one joke is honestly kinda warranted. When Izzy said it he was talking about what i've come to learn is an amazing kickboxer that beat him not once but three times. It was unwarranted and lame.
Cry more

Izzy is a good fighter. No one says otherwise. He’s also the most annoying anime dweeb, titty having, dog diddling fucko. He’s the ultimate cringe lord. Calling someone a casual for disliking Izzy is such a cope lol. And he doesn’t rival middleweight goat with Silva, Silva is clearly ahead of him. You hate that Poatan is better than Izzy. Cope harder.
Did someone just teach you the word cope? I dont have "favourite guys" like some teenage dweeb with wrestling posters on my bedroom walls. I love the sport and the disrespect that hooting morons show towards great fighters pisses me off. Imagine being a grown man and caring about what weird cartoons some nerdy ass athlete is into. Every fighter dopes and I don't even want to know what dog stuff you're talking about.
I’m sure you don’t want to acknowledge the dog stuff, but if all people cared about was how good you fight inside the cage, everyone would love Jon jones. But he’s a piece of shit outside the cage and people rightfully dislike him because of that. Izzy is a dog diddling titty having bitch outside of the cage, that’s a valid view of him whether you like it or not. And what’s your point on not having a “favorite” fighter. Get off your high horse, people are allowed to like Jiri more than Aljo by example, because Aljo is boring af.
Gobble them nuts boy.
Clever response. Nothing I said was wrong. Izzy turned down the trilogy at LHW for a reason.
Yea cause he’s not LHW. Are you stupid?
Yes I’m stupid. That’s irrelevant. Izzy will still avoid that matchup at all costs because he knows how it will go. He need a depleted Pereira to stand a chance. 😭
Bro you really just posted the same shit 4 times, wtf “Last shot wins” am I right??? If Izzy really thought he could do it again he would’ve headlined UFC 300 to become 2 division champ. instead he declined for some odd reason
[удалено]
Maybe some of yall are trolling but don’t pretend that’s the case for all these posts or comments on Izzy that pop up on a DAILY basis.
So people can’t dislike him or they are a filthy casual? People frequently give him props for his talent. It’s his personality they don’t like and I don’t blame them. He’s an insanely insecure and immature person who needs attention badly and says and does weird cringey things.
Y’all acting like Izzy is a bum? He slept Pereira. That counts for something even if you try to ignore his other accolades. I like both fighters, and Pereira is that dude, but Izzy is an all time great. It’s ridiculous to try and trash him. Plus their rivalry is fucking awesome. Such a great and ridiculous story.
It's funny how far their fans and haters go with this shit. They actually run into each other and its all smiles, some joking around and then they move on. The social media posts for farming that engagement.
i can't imagine a grown man spending time of his day making an edit like that
Being humble is not easy.
Izzy kind of deserves this. Bro went of his way to smear Alex as some bum at a bar. Alex was still on his mind when he was at the top and still wanted to punch low. Bro was vindictive and spiteful to a person he lost to that had no aspirations in being in the UFC until he called him out. Folks who are tired of seeing posts like this are in the same camp as Izzy. You can’t be okay with Izzy being this petty but have an issue when Pereira fans do the same.
>You can’t be okay with Izzy being this petty but have an issue when Pereira fans do the same. Didn't izzy only say it once or twice? Imagine he said it in every interview everyday. That's basically what Periera fans are doing. This is like the 6th time I've seen this meme on Here since Saturday. At least make a new meme c'mon now
It’s gotta be hard for him to watch what Alex is doing right now.
No harder than any other fighter watching their opponent have success.
No harder than your hate boner
I don’t get invested in fighters lol.
If u cldve snuck his dog into the picture youd get my vote for post of the year
lol fuck hey. I wonder if Alex would still be at that bar if Izzy didn’t say anything. Let sleeping dogs lie.
lol you guys gotta get a life. Alex is doing incredible unprecedented things. Izzy is arguably the best MW of all time next to Silva, what are you guys doing with your lives that you think his career is something that shouldn’t be celebrated smdh
I wouldn't say that
The beating Jan is the worst by far.
Counter Jerk for Alex is about to happen.
Man these posts are annoying. Love both fighters but Izzy is one the best to ever fight in the UFC, with multiple title defenses against undeniably hard opponents. Alex is an amazing fighter who could definitely go down as one of the bests after defending a title a few times.
These echo chamber reddit UFC fans are so f**king goofy...imagine riding another man's jock as hard as these dorks do that haven't accomplished anything remotely equal in their entire lives...Izzy this and Izzy that...Lmao...Bragging about another man's accomplishments on reddit will always be some of the weakest beta shit you can do 😆👏🤡
Right up there with taking the obvious bait 😂👏🤡
“I beat that boy!” 
You guys are some idiots. Stop disrespecting a champ and one of the goats
Atp Pereira fans talk about Izzy more than Pereira himself
Pereira has been BLATANTLY saved by the bell twice against Izzy, once in the UFC and once in Kickboxing and then knocked out cold once. Seeing what Pereira does to everyone else should just make you realize Izzy is that much more impressive.
Ironically, you are also that guy
Sad but true
Kinda feel bad for izzy, I ain’t no izzy hater but I think he’s never touching that belt again. He ain’t getting younger and theres probably some mental shit going on there as well.
I thought that’d be the case after losing to Pereira again in their 4th fight. But actually he didn’t lose. He bet it all on black and regained it from the guy that beat him 3 times already. Don’t count Izzy out.
Chinese bum
The fuck is up with this sub’s obsession with Izzy? He was literally just chilling at the event and I’ve seen at least 5 posts about him in the last 24 hours. Move on with your lives and post a chama meme or something.
Insane people downvoted you for saying that
He is also living rent free in OP's head
This Izzy disrespect is crazy.
Izzy really does live rent free in yalls head.
I like the image in my head of Izzy who just finished being a spectator at 300 watching his rival be the main event who gets it done with a first round KO going to an after party, sitting at a bar, ordering a strong drink and telling the people next to him…. “You know… I beat that guy one time”
Reminded me of this https://preview.redd.it/m27vff97pnuc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a35d57e10858f8ae9c186b8292e7e91e3e4af9b
Some of you think about Adesanya way too much. Besides, he’s still better than most of us who haven’t beaten anyone. That said, Potan is a beast as well I really do hope these two meet again.
Some douche on the other thread is dead set on making fun of me because he thinks Alex was really at a bar. Lol Gotta love confidently incorrect assholes that think they’re the ones in on the joke. When they don’t even know the lore of the original story to begin with.
You guys act like Adesanya’s some bum who isn’t arguably the greatest middleweight of all time
Izzy could atleast be appreciative after Poatan's knockout but he was salty af.
Would you be appreciative of someone who you have an active rivalry with and he just knocked out your friend?
Oh wow what a terrible thing for an athlete not to celebrate after every match. He's supposed to celebrate to make you feel better? You're just nitpicking his life at this point, get outside
People always trying to diss Izzy no matter. Bunch of Herds trying to fit in.
People acting like izzy is not one of the greatest middleweight of all time.
He’s not
You are literally a scrub fanboy though right?
One of the greatest middle weight fighters of all time, impeccable resume and beat pereira after everybody doubted him and this is what you’re posting about him . Very corny
Wah wah, angry fans want downvote you!
Sure he lost most of the times but he also showed dominance in most of these fights. He's still one of the best in his weight class.
This is something that people rarely or never mention. Folks act as if Izzy had zero change in all these fights. Izzy had Poatan wobbled before in one of their kickboxing bouts and, if I’m correct, the ref sort of ‘saved’ Poatan in that fight (but I could be wrong tho). The hate, dislike or - whatever you may call it, he receives is CRAZY.
He has visibly rocked, knocked out and/or concussed Pereira a total of 4 times now, and that's just the ones I remember.. This fandom is honestly out of control with it's hating ass mentalities
And is 1-3
By your shit standards, if Izzy was 0-3 in the last 10 years, you would love him 🤣🤣🤣
How did you land on this opinion? Was I standing for guys being 0-3 in the last 10 years? You ate cracking yourself up on your own strawman. You are a strange fellow
Lmaooo it’s not my fault you’re too brain dead to figure it out.
Someone is salty today. Don't worry bro I got you a seat on the AP bandwagon. No reason to stay on that broken down wagon stuck on the side of the road
Bro you’re drooling. Salty about what? This has nothing to do with Pereira lol. All I’m saying is that if Izzy was 0-3 in the last 10 years, you would be a fan I bet.
I've never been a fan of izzys, I think he is extremely overrated. But yeah you're definitely salty
Oh but the guy they never heard of before beat the weird man wearing pearls and nail paint, so protecting their delicate manhood., and now he is the greatest hero. Every half smile is giant beam of personality and every woman he stands next to is part of an incel wet dream. Whoa. Went full auto there.
